I once read in a science-for-kids magazine that they conducted simillar research... A few years back (I'm thinking early '90), a cargo ship lost a shipment of sneakers in the pacific. They were able to use them to track currents for a while. (Like, they knew where and when they'd gotten in the water, and I guess sneakers don't float that well...)
